How to prove that intermittent energy beats dispatchable energy

In this topsy-turvy world, everything is in flux. Sense becomes nonsense, and vice versa. Facts become denialist talking points, and the hysterical fever dreams of alarmists becomes fact. Eventually, somebody had to realise that a bicycle is, indeed, a viable transportation method for a gurnard.

Thus we reach the stage in the slow collapse of civilisation when we realise, after all, that renewable generators produce more useful energy than fossil fuels.

Struggling to come up with advantages for renewables, I find two, which are in effect two sides of the same coin: they use no fuel, and emit no carbon dioxide when in use. That’s it.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
